Have you ever watched "Jurassic Park" or "Walking with Dinosaurs" and find yourself wondering: How in the world do I do that? Well, now's your chance. You may not be able to animate your 3D model, but it looks great as it is!

Go into “Pixel Mode” and select edge editing mode. Click the dotted edged box and select the area highlighted in dark green. You may do so by dragging the dotted lined box over the selected green area.

Go into the line editing mode, which is not shown in this picture, but is next to the pixel-editing button. Next click on the “select” button and use it to select the lines of the diamond. Now go into “Edit” and select “Fill Holes”

Click on the texture toolbar and select your texture you want to use on your head. Also include a black texture. You should still be in the face editing tool while doing this. Now select the hole head and select the texture you want to use. Click apply.

Select your diamond eye and select the black texture. Click apply.

Select just the beak and create a new brown texture. You can play around with it to get the brown you want. Select it and click apply.
